Great pics guys, keep them coming. Noting both the number of posts and even more so the number of viewers, currently over 3000, this thread seems to be more successful than the event it is covering. An indication surely of the interest that the meeting engendered and the will for it to be more successful in the future.
The FIA Historic F1 races were, not surprisingly, the best supported of the weekend, since they formed part of the championship. 27 entries, with 20 actually getting to the grid. Some good racing with, for a while, a breakaway group of 4 contesting the lead woth one or two good battles further down the field. Joachim Folch only qualified 6th, but was part of this leading group, and hit the front and winning by 6.2 seconds in his Brabham BT49D:-
2nd place man, Hubertus Bahlsen, in the Arrows A4:-
Richard Eyre's Williams FW08 positively dwarfs the Tyrrell P34 of Mauro Pane in their battle for 5th place which Eyre won by just 1.8 seconds. It's a pity the Martin Stretton (who was at the meeting) didn't bring the P34 out that he runs for its owner, but that car only appears occasionally each year at bigger established meetings. Someone very close to me also suggested that Martin would probably have walked this race had he entered it, but I couldn't possibly comment!:-
Great to see the truly historic Tyrrell 001 of John Delane, who finshed 15th. He is seen here being lapped by the battling trio of Dan Collins (Lotus 91), Peter Sowerby (Williams FW07) and David Abbott (Ensign N180) who finished in that order respectively, 7th, 8th and 9th:-
